Our research is now supported by a 2024 Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Award, co-funded by the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). I am grateful to both SFARI and NLMFF for investing in high-risk, high-reward science to advance understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders.

The project will explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impair their crucial role in guiding the development of GABAergic neurons—key cells maintaining the brain’s balance between excitation and inhibition. Disruptions in this process are strongly linked to ASD, but the molecular pathways remain poorly understood.

By integrating genomic, proteomic, and functional approaches, we aim to reveal how these enzymes regulate gene activity during inhibitory neuron development and how their dysfunction contributes to ASD.

"Inhibitory control explains locomotor statistics in walking Drosophila", Gattuso et al. 2025
https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2407626122

"we measure and analyze trajectories evoked by attractive odor in walking Drosophila and develop a biologically plausible computational model of trajectory generation and modulation by sensory input. Our model provides a link between neural architectures and locomotor behavior and highlights the potential role of inhibition in shaping the curvature and speed of trajectories. Inspired by this model, we experimentally identify single neurons and populations that modulate either curvature or speed in the manner predicted by our model."

A team from the Laboratory for Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces has developed a flexible auditory brainstem implant (ABI) that closely conforms to the curved surface of the brainstem. The technology has successfully demonstrated high-resolution “prosthetic hearing” in macaques.

Scientists have just made a massive leap in neuroscience—creating an incredibly accurate digital twin of the human brain. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we treat neurological diseases, understand consciousness, and even explore the mind-machine interface. The future of brain science just got a lot more exciting!
